foreign [Music] good afternoon and welcome to Leipzig I finally got here from my train journey from Berlin and I’m just about to go inside my hotel there which is the H2 Hotel it’s right next to the railway station there’s the side of the building there so it’s it’s less than a five minute walk from the front of the Railway Station and from there you can also get onward connections on the trams there’s an extensive tram Network here and also buses throughout the city so it seems on the face of it to be ideally located gets good write-ups looks okay from the outside so I’m going to pop in now check in and then see what 24 hours in Leipzig has to offer me I will be spending this evening watching some bands so that’s that bit of it sorted but between now and when I get a train back to Berlin tomorrow at roughly this time let’s see what we can discover don’t usually want to protect people with tears about hotel rooms but I did I did quite like this um bedside set up to adjust the air conditioning and up and down temperature fan on fan off Etc and the lighting Arrangements here [Music] turn them all off turn them all on ready night look at that hey that’s going to confuse me in the middle of the night if I need a light on or temperature to go up or down anyway yeah so no plug though by the looks of it oh yes no it’s kind of light there is a plug down there excellent right with it [Music] [Music] well initial uh thoughts on Nike cases are what a nice city um I I was told by somebody that the primary modes of Transport here are bicycles and Tramps and they certainly weren’t wrong I’ve nearly been run over about 10 times by bikes just coming up from the station so far just managed to have been run over by a tram but they are everywhere and uh that’s uh nice Fountain as well right that’s Korean [Music] [Music] muffins [Music] [Music] well what a great afternoon to be wandering around in Leipzig is a beautiful day nice and warm and lots of people about just chilling out and enjoying themselves it really is a nice city so far from what I’ve seen uh plenty to plenty to see plenty of places to get something to eat and drink Gotta Love a curry and uh yeah let’s keep going [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign foreign tour of well the morning after the night before my 24 hours here in lights England to see some bands last night there’s a separate video regarding that and um typical Germany Sunday morning absolutely nothing happened at all so it’s quite nice and peaceful today I was walking down this same uh main shopping area in London guests today and towards the Market Square down there and it was absolutely packed out a beautiful day this morning it’s it’s a nice morning just one or two people out for a stroll and a few other cafes are open so let’s see what it’s like on the quiet Sunday morning [Music] foreign [Music] today to do that queue yesterday for people trying to do that [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you bro decided to take a little stroll out of the city center and go to this large Park um strange actually I’m just looking on the map it is one massive Park that seems to have two names two or names in two different parts this bit I seem to be in the Johanna Park I think I’m pronouncing that correct and then there’s the Clara Zach zetkin Park but it just joins onto it just uh over in that direction basically so I don’t know anyway it seems very pleasant a lot of people out walking their dogs and so on and cycling around this morning and completely unlike that experience I had yesterday at the girl it’s a park in Berlin if you’ve seen the Berlin video you’ll know what I mean if you haven’t then maybe maybe watch that but I reiterate don’t go to the girl it’s a park in uh in Berlin this one however looks absolutely fine I’m gonna go for the stroll around before I have to make it back to the health Barn half for my train back to Berlin at lunchtime today beautiful morning pretty chilled out and relaxed here and Mike edgy Berlin of course yeah it’s like these two parks that I mentioned earlier are not actually joined together as such this road runs right through the middle of them so there’s two two parts that’s the Johanna Park and uh that’s the Clara that one anyway the other one over there uh that’s all tents and purposes other than dashing across this road it’s one great big Park and it is big massive [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] ah she’s very pleasant [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Applause] but uh the trams aren’t running today by the looks of things along here weekend engineering works I suppose in fact completely there that’s a shame but it’s uh there’s about 20 minutes on the trend and 32 minutes walking so um walking it’s gonna be and that saved me three euros every cloud and all that anyway be a nice stroll back got plenty of time got a lot of stuff and head back to the station later for the train back to Berlin well uh that’s pretty much it I’ve enjoyed it Leipzig 24 hours here not much time and uh was out very late last night watching some bands to play so feeling quite tired now but it’s certainly a city I’d like to come back to at some point and look uh look around a bit more thoroughly because really it was a Whistle Stop tour yesterday of the outstand the old town area the marketplace and so on and today a little bit more of a walk out towards it to the one of the parks and uh yeah very pleasant City it’s not so edgy and grungy like Berlin nothing like it but uh a bit more like a German City whereas Berlin isn’t really Berlin is just kind of Burling well I hope you enjoyed this little Jump Around Leipzig if you did there’s a few more places that you can look for my videos if you click on subscribe and like and they should pop up and you’ll be able to have a look at those on the concentrate I’m finding my way back to the station now because I won’t want to miss my train I’m sure that you Deutsche Barn will be running perfectly efficiently today and won’t be running late so I’d better not as well have a nice day take care and if you do come to live so you can enjoy yourself it is a nice city and it’s a little bit quieter than some other big German cities that you would uh you might come across
